When I Fear God’s Path for Me
As we live our lives, we often find ourselves wandering down paths we never expected. It may not be due to our own sin or poor choices. It may be just the effects of living in a fallen and sinful world. But as David reminds us in Psalm 23:4, God is there with us. Both Paul and James remind us that God may have a plan in that dark valley to grow us. What we fear, may be God’s intended…

Everyone from the Christian to atheist has presuppositions.
LIFE (JOHN 20)
